Delivery & Returns

Miele major domestic appliances (excluding Vacuum Cleaners)

We aim to make the purchase of your new appliance from Miele as easy as we can so that you can enjoy your new machine with as little hassle as possible. The price you pay for your appliance direct through Miele includes the cost of delivery, basic connection (where applicable) and disposal of your old appliance. We will even take away all unwanted packaging that comes with your new appliance, saving you the trouble of disposing of it yourself.

Once you have placed your order we will contact you by telephone usually by the following working day to arrange delivery to your chosen address and to confirm if you have an old machine for disposal. We can usually deliver your appliance within 2 working days after placing your order although this is subject to your postcode, stock availability and to us agreeing with you a time that is convenient.

For freestanding appliances we will disconnect your old appliance and take it away for recycling. We will put your new appliance in place including plugging it in and for freestanding washing machines and dishwashers we will connect to water supply and waste. In some circumstances, where we find mains services to be unsuitable for safe disconnection and connection or where some level of remedial works are required, we reserve the right to not carry out these services. We are unable to disconnect or connect hard wired appliances, to rewire plugs, to ‘customise’ fittings and fixtures or to dismantle or change any furniture.

We regret that we are unable to un-install or install integrated or semi integrated appliances, this includes appliances that have an integrated door front matching your kitchen cabinets. We can take away your old integrated appliance for disposal providing that it is disconnected from all mains supplies and that it is removed from its niche and has no fixings or furniture attached to it.

Where you have bought a tumble dryer and stacking kit which is compatible with your washing machine we can stack your tumble dryer on top of your washing machine.

We will remove all packaging and if required dispose of your old appliance all free of charge leaving you with only your new Miele to enjoy.

We always aim to consolidate orders although if you have also ordered Accessories, a Vacuum Cleaner or more than one product then these may arrive separately on a different delivery.

(a) When you place your order at the end of the online checkout process by clicking on the 'submit' button, we will acknowledge it by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted.

(b) We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:

(i) the appliances are not ones for which we can accept online service visit bookings (see paragraph 3.5);

(ii) we cannot authorise your payment (where applicable);

(iii) there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the services.

3.3.3 Where you place your order by phone, our customer services will take details and will advise you if for any reason we cannot take your order.

3.3.4 Please ensure that all details submitted with your order are accurate. This will assist us in dealing with your repair efficiently

3.3.6 If you wish to change an order after we have accepted it, please let us know as soon as possible. If the change is possible, we will advise about any change to price, timescales or anything else that would be involved and ask whether you wish to go ahead on that basis. If we cannot agree to a change, you may wish to end the contract (see Section 4 Cancellation Rights).

3.3.7 If we need to make changes to an order, we will notify you and, if you do not agree to those changes, you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect (and receive a refund for any services paid for but not received). If our supply of services is delayed by events outside our control, we will notify you as soon as possible and take steps to minimize the effect of any delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you can contact us to end the contract (and receive a refund for any services paid for but not received).

3.4.2 We may carry out the services through our own technicians, or may sometimes use our authorised repairers to carry out the services on our behalf (in which case, we remain responsible for the services).

3.4.3 We will normally agree the date of your service visit when you arrange it. At your request, we will provide you with a narrower time slot and the name of the technician who will visit you by the following methods, from 2.00 pm the day before the visit, as follows:

(a) Text message: provide us with a mobile number and we will text you the name and two‐hour call slot of the technician;

(b) E‐mail: if we have your e‐mail address, we can send you the information electronically.

3.4.4 Although we aim to return your appliance to working order during the first service visit, there are some circumstances where this may not be possible, including:

(a) If we do not have all necessary parts to complete the repair, we may need to arrange a return visit. In such cases we will not charge you a call‐out charge for the first visit although technician time during that first visit will be counted towards the first hour of time for the second visit.

(b) If in our opinion your appliance is beyond economic repair, we will discuss this with you before carrying out the services. Where you decide not to have work carried out for this reason, please note that a call‐out charge will still apply (see paragraph 3.7.1(c) below).

3.4.5 If you do not allow us access to your property to provide the service visit as arranged (and you do not have good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result (see the charges for failed calls on our website). If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are then unable to contact you or re‐arrange the service visit, we may end the contract.

3.5 Vacuum Cleaners, Countertop Coffee Machines and Fashion Masters

Repairs for vacuum cleaners and countertop coffee machines are not carried out by service visit – for these appliances, please order the repair by phone on 0330 160 6600 to enable us to arrange collection of your appliance for repair or servicing. Our repair service and charges for these appliances are set out at http://www.miele.co.uk/domestic/maintenance‐and‐service‐480.htm and are inclusive of parts and labour. This service covers servicing and minor repairs, and we are not able to provide this service for appliances requiring major repairs: where we consider that your vacuum cleaner, countertop coffee machine or fashion master cannot reasonably be repaired, we will return the appliance to you and refund the cost of the service.

3.6 Service Guarantee

3.6.1 We guarantee all repairs carried out on a specific fault for 12 months, covering both labour and replaced parts. Please note that this service guarantee only covers the specific parts and services supplied under the service visit or during the repair: it does not cover any other faults that your appliance may have. The service guarantee does not apply where the failure of a repair or a replaced component is due to any of the following:

(a) Non‐compliance with safety regulations and warnings given in the operating instructions;

(b) Faults caused by operating errors or lack of care;

(c) Inappropriate and/or commercial use;

(d) Intentional or accidental damage, or external influences;

(e) Incorrect installation or faulty repairs by non‐authorised repairers; or

(f) Use of non‐approved spare parts or accessories.

3.6.2 The service guarantee is offered as an extra benefit and does not affect your key rights, which are summarized at the top of these terms.

3.7 Price and Payment

3.7.1 Our service visit charges are set out on our website in pounds sterling (GBP) and include VAT at the applicable rate. The price for your service visit (and the basis of any charges we cannot calculate in advance) will be indicated on the order pages when you place your order or will be confirmed during your phone booking:

(a) call‐out charges include the first hour of labour; additional time after that first hour is based on an hourly rate but is charged in 6‐minute increments;

(b) replacement spare parts are charged as extra – your technician will advise you of the cost of spares;

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices advised to you are correct. If, in the course of a service visit, it becomes apparent that further work is needed on your appliance beyond that covered in your order, the technician will agree the costs of that additional work with you.

3.7.2 In some cases, and where stated during the order process, we require advance payment before we start the services. Where you have made advance payment (unless you have pre‐paid in full) we will invoice you for the balance of the price of the services when we have completed them. In all other cases, you will need to make payment on completion of the services.

3.7.3 Unless services have been fully pre‐paid, you must pay each invoice within 30 calendar days after the date of the invoice. We accept payment by all major credit and debit cards, but we are unable to accept cash payment. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank from time to time. This interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

3.7.4 Nothing in this paragraph affects your legal rights to cancel the contract during the 14 day cancellation period, for further details please see Section 4 (Cancellation Rights).

We will process any refund due to you within 30 days of our confirmation of your entitlement to a refund. Where we confirm your entitlement to a refund, we will refund you in full for the product, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the product to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the product.
